Do You Actually Need a Wedding Planner?
Spoiler alert: I’m going to say yes—but hear me out before you roll your eyes and keep scrolling.
“We’re not doing anything huge, so we don’t really need one… right?”
Classic line. I hear it all the time. And look, I get it—if you’re not planning a 400-person wedding with fireworks, five outfit changes, and a full-blown orchestra, you might be thinking “how hard can it be?”
Well, let me give you the honest answer: planning a wedding, even a chilled-out one, can be a full-time job. And if you’re already working, studying, parenting, or just trying to have a life—fitting in 500 tiny wedding decisions is… a lot.
Here’s what a wedding planner (hi, it’s me 👋) actually does:
Keeps everything and everyone on track: From timelines to vendors to your aunt who will absolutely try to rearrange your seating chart.
Saves you cash: Yep, even though I’m an extra line in the budget, I can help you avoid last-minute spending, inflated vendor costs, and “why didn’t anyone tell me I needed this?” moments.
Reduces decision fatigue: Want three florist quotes that actually match your vibe and budget? I’ll get them to you. Want me to help you choose between napkin colours at 9pm on a Tuesday? Already texting you options.
Manages the chaos on the day: You shouldn’t be fielding vendor calls while you’re getting your hair done. You should be drinking bubbles and loving your life.
But wait, what if I already planned most of the wedding?
Amazing! That’s where on-the-day coordination comes in. You hand me the reins (and your carefully colour-coded spreadsheet if you have one), and I make sure it all runs like clockwork. You get to be fully present, while I take care of all the behind-the-scenes drama.
So, do you actually need a wedding planner?
Nope. You can do it all yourself.
But if you want someone to guide you, hype you up, take the pressure off, and turn your dream day into a calm, fun, Pinterest-perfect reality… then yeah. You kinda do.
